Raiders 2021 Season Outlook: WR John Brown
The Las Vegas Raiders certainly didn’t shy away from making big moves this offseason. One of their most underrated moves, however, was signing John Brown to a one-year, $3.7 million contract this offseason.
Brown is a very solid receiver who the Raiders are getting on a budget. He will add experience and talent to the young Raiders’ wide receiver room. Let’s take a closer look at what Brown will bring to Las Vegas in 2021.
The Raiders needed a veteran receiver
After losing Nelson Agholor to free agency, the Raiders were looking at an extremely young receiving core. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it was clear heading into this offseason, that the Raiders were in need of a veteran receiver with both talent and leadership.
Brown brings just that. At the ripe age of 31, the Silver and Black will be the fourth different uniform Brown has worn in his career. He spent four years with the Cardinals, then added a year with the Ravens and two with the Bills, where he played some of the best football of his career.
